Laff Trax* is a joint project by two of California's better contemporary pop musicians.  Toro y Moi (who's a guy, not a band) is a chillwave refugee who can seemingly do anything convincingly:  lite funk, psychedelic rock, you name it.  Nosaj Thing creates ace alt-hip-hop.*  (If you miss Laff Tracks here, they'll be playing at Elsewhere in Bushwick later tonight.)  Among the many other performers on the bill, I have to give a shout-out to Starchild & The New Romantic, who appears to love Prince even more than I do.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  You can grab lunch or an early dinner at M. Wells Dinette inside PS1.  After the show, why not walk over to M. Wells Steakhouse?  Its name notwithstanding, it's not really a steakhouse.  Rather, it's the closest thing we have in New York to one of the great over-the-top Nouvelle Quebecois restaurants in Montreal, whose food is anything but dainty.
